SSH Jauharabad seeks outsourced lab testing services under a framework contract for FY 2026-27, valued at Rs.
7 lakh. This is a recurring annual arrangement covering item-wise lab tests delivered on-site at the hospital. The tight deadline (10 Aug 2026) and ISO 15189 compliance requirement suggest the buyer prioritizes accredited, professionally managed labs. Competition will likely be moderate given the niche health sector focus and PHC registration barrier. Pricing pressure is manageable at this budget level.
Who can bid: Bidders must register with Punjab Health Care (PHC) and E-Procurement System (E-PS) per PPRA guidelines. ISO 15189 certification for medical labs is mandatory. MDCAT/PMC pathologist credentials required. Blacklisted firms by PPRA or PESSI/SSH ineligible. Typically, NTN and sales tax registration also required, though not explicitly stated here.
